WASHINGTON: The Army is inviting partners to submit white papers for new tech to be potentially adopted as part of its Capability Set 25.

Capability sets are intended to enhance the Army’s tech and prepare the service for All Domain Operations. The Army’s tactical network is viewed as the bedrock of this initiative. Beginning in 2021, sets are scheduled to be released every two years, with the goal of incrementally adding new tech that builds upon, expands, and improves existing capabilities.

Capability sets entail a range of tech, but focus broadly on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data management, advanced waveforms, and mission command applications. For Capability Set 25, the Army is seeking white papers for new tech in three areas:

C4ISR Modular Open Suite of Standards Radio Technologies — The goal is continued development of radios that meet open standards, while providing new and enhanced capabilities, such as multi-wave software-defined radio cards, crypto cards, and the ability to host multiple waveforms on a single card.

SATCOM Modernization — The goal is to “streamline” the Army’s tactical satellite modem product line while shrinking its logistical footprint through the use of less hardware, virtualization, or both.
